What is a mandala?

Visually speaking, a mandala can be typically described as an abstract concentric form with intricate designs that emanate from a central point. (Huh?) In other words, a mandala is kind of like a detailed, abstract flower.

On a spiritual level, mandalas are useful devices for centering yourself and getting in touch with your own inner reality. When you color a mandala, you can connect with your spiritual core. Mandalas have long been a part of spiritual practice for many cultures around the world, from Celtic to Tibetan.
